Removing shadow from text under icons

My question is related to Windows 7. I post here as I don't see any more
specific newsgroup...
I configured the desktop theme as Windows Classic with a white solid
background.
I see the text under the desktop icons as white shadowed.
How can I configure the text under icons to be simply black, wihtout any
shadow?
I see the same problem even using other desktop background solid colors...
What setting should I change?
Regards
Marius

Unfortunately it's highly unlikely that there will be any Microsoft
Windows 7 newsgroups. Apparently Microsoft has decided that web-based
forums are better than newsgroups and they are putting their efforts
there. I'm personally sorry that's the case, but it's their decision,
not mine.


However there is at least one non-Microsoft Windows 7 newsgroup:
alt-windows7.general. Not all servers carry it (at least not yet), but
here's one free news server that does: aioe.org

There isn't one with general distribution through most USENET servers, and
none supported by Microsoft. While it certainly offers few of the
advantages of a traditional newsgroup,
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windows7 is the
"official" tool for asking questions.

Have you tried:

Control Panel
System and Security
System
Performance Information and Tools
Adjust Visual Effects

(If you show large or small icons in the Control Panel, go directly to
"Performance Information and Tools".)

and uncheck the option "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop".
